GubWeb

"game"; 640x400 (4bit)
Last release v1.20, june 1997

You are the four pixels in the upper-right corner of a big maze. First you must go to the middle, then to a purple block, and then to the bottom-left corner. Then you proceed to the next level. In each level there are some green and red "gubs" (=pixels). The reds will damage you or some will even fire. The greens are harmless. You can kill gubs by firing or standing on them.

My first PC-game in graphics mode. I made it together with a friend. We used a standard pascal BGI file. Too slow for real graphics, but it did display 640x400. The "mazes" were randomally generated and drawn with the line procedure. Not a really cool game, but it was fun to make it.

Read this first: The title screen stored in PICTURE.REC is not included (64kb extra for a dull image). Instead, create an empty file named picture.rec. Now run gubweb.exe and press any key at the loading...-screen.

Last release v2.61, october 1997

Move the ship at the bottom left and right. Zeroes will enter the field and'll move around and fire on you. But you can fire back. Earn money by destroying the zeroes. After a sector has been completed you can buy three out of the 27 available weapons, or one of the 15 different missiles, or upgrade the shield. Then continue fighting against more advaced zeroes, and finally, the end-"boss".

I made this game after Sheet Invaders. The first real playable game I wrote. Also featuring ship damage and a message log (with window "scrolling") and a lot of cheats.

No comments, just run the exe-file (doesn't need external files).

Last release v2.16, march 1998

This game can be used to practice your mathematical and typing skills. Choose between multiplication, division, addition, substraction, sqaration, flashwords (a word appears for a very brief time, which you have to retype) or choose to type full strings, single words, batch commands. Each game has five difficulty settings and a hi-score list for each difficulty. The score will depend on the correctness and average time.

I wrote this game to help my younger brother read, my younger sister type, and both of them to practice maths. The program is pretty complete, and is playable in both dutch and english.

Download hiq.exe (25kb).
Read this first: HiQ writes scores and settings to hiq.dat, so it can't be run from a read-only drive (like a write-protected floppy).

animated cursor; 175 frames

Not a program, but an animated cursor (.ani). I took a normal yellow cursor and put it into action. It shakes it's tail, changes color, grows a new tail, and more...

Didn't like that boring white cursor in windows, but wanted something to point with. So I made this hyper-active cursor.

Download available soon...

classic game; 256x256...640x400 (8bit, tweaked and VESA modes)
Last release v2.45, december 1998

Let the snake eat all apples and don't let it run into any wall or something. The snake will grow with each apple. When you ate everything, you'll proceed to the next level, and you will encounter more and more exotic things, like one-way arrows, moving blocks/walls, bouncing balls, enemy snakes, teleporters, and more... Vipers has also got a multiplayer option. Play with a friend (cooperative) or play a deathmatch against one or more players (upto six players, or upto ten computer-controlled snakes). Deathmatch can be played with or without weapons.

My first game with real 256-color graphics (in tweaked resolutions ranging from 256x200 to 4000x600 and VESA modes of 512x384 or 640x400) and sound blaster sound. I wrote the procedures myself in assembly language. Spent a lot of time writing the game, but I never finished it...

Released junuary 1999

This game will simply show the Julia-fractal, and change it a bit each time it redraws it (an animation with one frame/sec on my P133). Looks OK.

Download fractal.exe (15kb).
Read this 1st: When you run fractal.exe, you'll first have to enter how much each frame changes. The higher the value, the sooner it's over (I use 0.01 on my P133). Then enter x- and y-resolutions. Valid are only 320 and 240 or 640 and 400 (640x400 requires a VESA-compatible card and may not work)!!

Last release v1.3, april 1999

A dutch program that'll practice your latin skills. A latin word will be given, and you have to give the dutch translation(s) and (sometimes) the irregular plural. Choose any lesson(s) from 1 to 28 of the Via Nova method.

My most recent program I wrote so I could learn my latin... Wrote assembler procedures for text-window up/down scrolling, so the whole thing doesn't have to be redrawn every time you scroll one word. Looks nice.
